I’m in complete agreement that active volcanoes are being monitored and I don’t doubt the item is a waste or should be abudget item, not a stimulus item.
I am simply observing that with a volcano currently threatening a city, why pick volcano monitoring to mention? I think it’s because Jindal has no active volcanoes in LA or anywhere nearby, but it’s a pick that could “blow up” on him and the GOP if a volcano now goes off.
Listen, our brothers and sisters in Alaska, Washington, and Hawaii choose to build their cities on volcanos that’s their business, and I promise not to say “I told you so.” However, because there’s nothing humans can do when a volcano erupts, I fail to see how their stupidity becomes everybody else’s problem. Besides, were’re running out of space here on Manhattan, and Lando Calrissian and I could use the extra money to help us get Cloud City off the ground. We promise not to go hat in hand to the Federal Goverment if things don’t work out so good.
In other words, I have no money and no sympathy for people who choose to live on volcanos. I could probably find a sweet ginormous loft for under $1200 a month in Bedford Stuyvesant, but then who would I blame when I mugged every night coming home from work?
